There’s a temptation to look good & sound good, so that the people you preach to will ENJOY it and come back. REALITY is that it’s not them that you aim to please. For none of them gave their life for you, then came back to life. No, the one we should aim to please of JESUS. And without FAITH it is impossible to please God. PREACH THE WORD & display FAITH in God to do what He said He would do with His word: accomplish His purposes! This isn’t my gig, its His.

No man-pleaser will ever preach the full council of God. -RC Sproul
